Abstract
Abstract Preventing corrosion and scale formation in water re-circulating systems by adding to each cubic meter of the water being re-circulated from about 5 to 100 grams of a compound selected from the group consisting of those of the formula ##EQU1## and the water-soluble salts thereof R being hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or alkinyl having up to 4 carbon atoms; phenyl; cycloalkyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms; benzyl; phenethyl or ##EQU2## wherein R' is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or carboxyl, R" is hydrogen or methyl and R'" is carboxyl.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A process for preventing corrosion and the formation of scale in a water re-circulating system which comprises adding to each cubic meter of the water being re-circulated from about 5 to 100 grams of a compound selected from the group consisting of those of the formula ##EQU6## and the water-soluble salts thereof, R being hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or alkinyl having up to 4 carbon atoms; phenyl; cycloalkyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms; benzyl; phenethyl or ##EQU7## wherein R' is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or carboxyl, R" is hydrogen or methyl and R'" is carboxyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
A process for preventing corrosion and the formation of scale in a water re-circulating system which comprises adding to each cubic meter of the water being re-circulated from about 5 to 100 grams of a compound selected from the group consisting of those of the formula ##EQU6## and the water-soluble salts thereof, R being hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl or alkinyl having up to 4 carbon atoms; phenyl; cycloalkyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms; benzyl; phenethyl or ##EQU7## wherein R' is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or carboxyl, R" is hydrogen or methyl and R'" is carboxyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
